The provided handle/legs must be assembled onto skillet before use (unassembled models only).

1.Place skillet upside down on tabletop or countertop.

2.Position first handle/leg on side of skillet with socket, lining up holes in legs with mounting projections on skillet.

3.Using appropriate screwdriver, securely attach handle/leg with two of the long screws provided. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to assemble second handle/leg on opposite side of skillet.

4.To assure proper installation of skillet handle/legs, place assembled skillet right side up on a flat surface and lift with handles. Handles should feel tightly secured.

5.If the skillet rocks when placed on a flat surface, remove screw on the leg, which is not

resting on the surface. Install one of the enclosed washers between the skillet mounting projection and leg. Replace the screw following instructions 3 and 4 above. If the skillet is not level after the addition of the washer, add the second leveling washer in the same manner to the opposite leg not resting on surface.

Note: Washers are included to aid in leveling, if necessary.

USING YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET

1.Place appliance on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge. NOTE: Do not block airflow under the skillet.

2.Attach heat control to skillet, making sure it is set at “OFF”. Plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only.

3.Preheat skillet, uncovered, for 2 to 4 minutes until desired temperature is reached, unless recipe states not to preheat. Signal light on heat control will be on while skillet is heating.

4.Refer to the Temperature Guide in this booklet for selecting the correct heat setting. (If food is frozen, use heat setting as indicated, but allow longer cooking time).

5.When the signal light on the heat control goes out indicating that the cooking temperature has been reached, add the food. Heat may be increased or decreased, depending upon personal preference and the type or amount of food being prepared. The signal light will go on and off during cooking to indicate that proper temperature is being maintained.

6.At the end of the cooking period, set the heat control at WARM for serving, or at OFF if food will be removed immediately from skillet. After dial is set at OFF, unplug cord from wall outlet.

•A small amount of odor may occur during operation due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
